Helmsley
Helmsley, just 2 miles from Beadlam Grange is in the heart of Ryedale which includes the dramatic landscape of the North Yorkshire Moors National Park, the Howardian Hills, the Yorkshire Wolds and the patchwork of farmland in the Vale of Pickering and the Vale of York. Situated on the banks of the River Rye, Helmsley is one of Yorkshire's most popular market towns with an abundance of quality shops, restaurants and pubs which surround the market square with its gothic memorial to the second Earl of Feversham.
Duncombe Park, an 18th century mansion and home to Lord & Lady Feversham and Helmsley Castle both overlook the town. Helmsley Walled Garden set against the backdrop of Helmsley Castle is a five acres site which has been lovingly restored by voluteers and houses an extensive range of plants. The Tourist Information Centre is within the Castle's visitor centre and there is a regular Friday Market in the Market Square every week.
